Dictator "bling"
« on: September 29, 2007, 09:35:09 PM »
 I just got a cool coin off of ebay for $8....



 I thought it might be a nice to affix it to the mini-Dictator that Dom is making for me. Appears to be bronze.

 Also recently got a little brass case that will be useful for holding lengths of fuse or friction primers. I doubt that the little plate is original to the case, but still kind of a cool item for $20. The inside of the case is gold plated. I guess the outside probably was at one time also.



 Oops - Can't forget the can, can we?

uhh, that case looks like a Zippo lighter case missing the lighter part, brass construction chrome plated outside. If its not a zippo its probably just an old cigarette case or other lighter case (hard for me to judge the size of that thing from the pic).

No Zippo, no chrome, no cigarettes (Unless someone was smoking 3/16" smokes at one time. That's the largest diameter that will fit into it). Nice little case for something, but I doubt it was for anything tobacco related...

LOL... How'd you guess? First I need to get it done up in 20 coats of metal-flake purple lacquer and put some 20" rims on it though.
